If TERM set to "xterm-color" is the problem, you can create a setting in the OS X terminal application with TERM set to "dtterm" for example: open Preferences and choose the "Advanced" tab. Then you can save the window as a special group or even as a special setting. -- Ettore Aldrovandi Department of Mathematics, Florida State University 1017 Academic Way * http://www.math.fsu.edu/~ealdrov Tallahassee, FL 32306-4510, USA * * aldrovandi at math dot fsu dot edu
